Put the negotiators in the same building wearing the same clothes(+wigs) for the 2-3 months the original took. Then see what happens.

You forgot to mention in late June, woolen clothing, in a room with closed windows and no air conditioning.

We have some seriously ignorant people here

GOOD on you for pointing out a very definite TRUTH.

Just keep voting. As if it matters.

I think the last election shows us that as things are now they matter little.

From what the rats have done in just a few months, we have real good clues as to where they will take the United States.

Which is why we should call for the Article V Convention while we have a majority of the state legislatures in control of Republicans.

If we allow things to progress as they are the Democrats will slowly take total control of the state legislatures using the methods they seek for elections in H1 and S1.

The Article V Convention is controlled by the states and Amendments proposed by it are ratified by the states.

It is our last hope of preserving the Union.

Like it or not, that is probably true.

To the best of my knowledge, Texas is the only state that has it’s own Bullion Depository.

I am not advocating Texas going anywhere, but if Texas decided to do that, I think it could make it work. Texas will fight the Globalist/Leftist Cabal.

At this point what do we have to lose? We have to fix this out-of-control govt, entitled politicians, voter fraud, etc. Yes, a convention of states poses risks, but not taking drastic steps to correct this out-of-control govt poses far greater risks.

I understand the COS and its importance...provided the state legislatures are with us. And a Republican majority in a state legislature is not necessarily comforting to me. Again, until the election process is cleaned up, everything else seems moot.

No question about it.

Years ago at FR I listed the Electoral College and the Article V State Amendment process as the last two federal institutions left uncorrupted by the rats.

All that remains is the COS. The people are angry. Let’s use it.

Well, while you wait for fairy dust to clean up the election process, the rats are full speed ahead implementing one party rule.

It is silly to fight one’s enemy on their turf. The rat’s own DC. An Article COS is a flanking movement, an end run around our enemies.

“Just because there’s limitations, Robert’s Rules of Order gives savvy operators wiggle room to advance agendas regardless of what the established rules are going in.”

That makes no sense. Give us a “For example,” please. State specifically what would happen, who would say what, who is in charge, and what the outcome would be.

“Roberts Rules Of Order” lol...wut?

I don’t think the handful of vehement opponents to COS on this thread are argui in good faith. More like disruptors, with their own agenda, given to them by opponents of America.

It’s like arguing with a wall...that lies.

Would you like to see a proposed Term Limits Amendment that would then go to be ratified by 38 states—like all the other amendments? Because Congress will never do it. Yet it always polls at 80%+.

The only way to get them is COS. It merely bypasses Congress and lets the States propose amendments. Nothing more; nothing less.

Yes. And America’s enemies are terrified of it. Along with several posters here, who for some reason do not involve logic or reasoning, apparently.

LOL...What makes you think Rino infested legislatures are going to play ball with you? And beside the point, why not just go for Constitutional amendments now, if you are confident you can get cooperative state legislatures?

I want term limits & repeal of the 17th Amendment. However if I can’t get both I’ll take term limits.

? I’ve advocated a COS since 2014.

<>What makes you think Rino infested legislatures are going to play ball with you?<>

Please interpret.

Are state legislatures involved in the COS process?

I believe its up to each state to either approve the proposed amendments by either state convention or via the state legislature.

I believe in making state legislatures important in peoples lives again even if we have to force them to be.

As were mine on mother and father’s side.

Shame you do not want to share in the free Republic of Texas as our great grand parents did.

I am ready to take part in a free Republic now before America destroys our culture
